Message install new tires. The last three times I've had tires put on I've carefully explained that each wheel has it's own corner(FR, FL, RR, RL) and since the tires are directional they have to be careful whenever they mount the tires. Every time they say "Yeah, I understand. No problem". Every time I have to watch them carefully. Every time I have to walk out and tell them they put the tire on backwards and to redo it. Every time!! I always end up spending the entire day standing over them making sure they get it right. On the upside, the shop got me out the door on Bridgestone Potenza RE730s cheaper than the Tire Rack could.

Anybody want to go in half with me on mounting and balancing equipment? :) How long would it take to make our money back? It's gotta be less hassle than letting those yayhoos at the shop do it.

P.S.
The RE730s kick ass in the rain. I drove down to Pensacola Saturday and it poured down on me the whole way and the car was as stable in the wet as it is in the dry. Same for the drive back yesterday. I didn't realize it rained so much in Alabama! Great tires though.
